From 60d1053c22f0b8b7be2e27d8f6e4632b52342881 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andriy Gapon Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2017 16:55:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] 7545 zdb should disable reference tracking illumos/illumos-gate@4dd77f9e38ef05b39db128ff7608d926fd3218c6 https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/commit/4dd77f9e38ef05b39db128ff7608d926fd3218c6 https://www.illumos.org/issues/7545 When evicting from the ARC, we manipulate some refcount_t's, e.g. arcs_size. When using zdb to examine a large amount of data (e.g. zdb -bb on a large pool with small blocks), the ARC may have a large number of entries. If reference tracking is enabled, there will be ~1 reference for each block in the ARC. When evicting, we decrement the refcount and have to search all the references to find the one that we are removing, which is very slow. Since zdb is typically used to find problems with the on-disk format, and not with the code it is running, we should disable reference tracking in zdb.
